Stanfords Racism Study

Coming to the correct decision on racism apparently requires logic to be jettisoned. Stanford’s study on “unconscious racism” reveals more than they intended - and less than they claim. It revealed something about the PhD’s who designed the test.

The test was a computerized choice between nice, good feeling terms, or bad feeling terms as associated with names. The names stated were said to represent white names on the one hand and black names on the other hand:

“Individuals were asked to quickly pair "black" names (Aisha, Jamal, and so forth) and "white" names (Brett, Jane) with good words such as "beauty" and "friendly," or bad words such as "evil" and "hate."

These names are repeated throughout the text of the Stanford News release, as if no other names were used in the study. If this is the case, the study is seriously flawed, because Aisha and Jamal are actually Middle East names, and Aisha is specifically Muslim.

The test, then is comparing “white names” to Muslim names, not black names. While it is true that some blacks have taken to using Muslim names, that is a huge parasitic variable that negates the results of the study. And it would appear that the intent of the study is to accuse people of not knowing that they are racist and that is the reason for Obama's opposition by whites, while blacks support whatever he does, and they jumped to that conclusion.

It's the old childhood accusation: "you're too stupid to know that you are stupid!"... or "too crazy to know that you are crazy!", etc.

Campus PhD’s live in an insulated world; Stanford should have a committee of real people to keep them in contact with reality.
